Basics of Weight Loss

What should I be eating?

(3 of 3 pages)

According to the Food Standards Agency having a healthy balanced diet means you should:

• Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, at least 5 portions of a variety every day.
• Base your meals on starchy foods, such as potatoes, brown rice and wholemeal bread.
• Have just moderate amounts of meat, fish and other good sources of protein.
• Have some dairy foods such as cheese, milk and yoghurt - choose lower fat options whenever you can.
• Watch how much salt you're eating - the most anyone over the age of 11 should be having is 6g a day (or 2.5g sodium).
• Watch out for high fat or high sugar snacks and drinks, and don't have them too often.
